  • Musk promised a tri-motor version with over 500 miles of range
  • The max range proved around 350 miles, leaving quite the shortfall
  • Range-extending battery pack was designed to combat this

The Tesla Cybertruck’s range-extending battery pack appears to have disappeared from the company’s online store, prompting speculation that the long-promised accessory has been canned.

When the Tesla Cybertruck first launched, Elon Musk promised an impressively potent Cyberbeast tri-motor model that would not only deliver a 0-60mph sprint time of just 2.6 seconds but would also offer over 500 miles between recharge stops. Not long after launch, the world learned that this wasn’t the case – it was more like 300 miles.
